Zhao Huaizhong's residence in Xianyang Palace, Wuying Hall.
It was dark at night, and the lights in the palace were brightly lit.
The officials, guards, and maids all looked cautious.
King Zhuang Xiang suddenly suffered an unexpected incident, and everyone in Xianyang Palace was frightened and uneasy, fearing that a slight mistake would lead to unpredictable consequences.
Zou Yan and Xunzi, who was all alone in white, sat at one end each, forming a triangle with Zhao Huaizhong.
The two old men came from afar, covered in dust, and looked at Zhao Huaizhong with shining eyes.
"Two saints came together, but they were worried that my father would be ill. I would seek revenge and start a war indiscriminately, causing rivers of blood to flow?" Zhao Huaizhong asked.
Zou Yan and the two looked at each other.
They do have such concerns, and the Prince of Qin is really transparent.
Zhao Huaizhong said: "The two saints are worrying too much. I don't know who my opponent is yet, and I haven't lost my mind yet."
He looked at Zou Yan: "When the leader of the Huns died, Zou Sheng was able to judge from the celestial phenomena that it was me who did it. Now it is possible to see who wants to harm my father Zhuang Xiang?"
Zou Yan said: "When the Lord of the Huns died, I could see that it was you who did it, because you were already in the middle of the sky, as bright as the sun.
At this time, the Lord of Qin was murdered, and the murderer was hiding in the dark, and the stars in the sky were in chaos. Who did it was blinded by a force, and it is unknown. "
Zhao Huaizhong mused: "It can deceive the saint's senses and hurt the Lord of Qin. This is a clue in itself."
"The monster clan is the most suspect."
Zou Yan thought for a while: "But we can't rule out other possibilities."
Xunzi then said: "If something happens to Zhuang and Xiang, and the political prince takes over the power of Qin, with the power of a saint, and uses swords and soldiers, whether it is to attack the six countries or to resolutely raise troops to attack the demon clan, it will be a sign of great chaos.
This is consistent with the motive of the demon clan to invade our human race.
I am here to advise you not to start your troops lightly and fall into the trap of the demon clan.
If you, the Qin people, raise an army at this time, it will be a disastrous move for both sides.
At least we have to wait until the right time and take advantage of the trend.”
The two old saints came in person because they were worried that something might happen to King Zhuang Xiang and that Zhao Huaizhong would lose control and launch an army rashly, resulting in a loss of lives and countless deaths.
Mu Yangjing also had this worry just now.
Zhao Huaizhong's thoughts are getting deeper and deeper, and no one knows what he is thinking.
Zhao Huaizhong said calmly: "It doesn't actually matter who is the murderer hiding behind the scenes."
Zou Yan and Xunzi looked at each other. What Zhao Huaizhong meant was that no matter the Six Kingdoms or the Monster Clan, they would have to confront these forces sooner or later, and no one could stay out of it.
So it really doesn't make any difference whether the murderer is found or not.
The two old saints suddenly waved together, their breaths intertwined, and the scene thousands of miles away was reflected.
It was the top of the Kunlun Mountains where the demon tribe was located in the vast mountains. The demon ruins where the demon tribe was located had actually disappeared.
Originally standing on the mountain, the continuous gorgeous palaces seemed to have moved out of thin air without a trace.
Zou Yan sighed: "Recently, the demonic energy has been flying across the sky in the west, and the weather has never been more prosperous than before. Their disappearance should be related to this, and the demon clan is likely to change recently."
Zhao Huaizhong thought for a while, then changed the topic and said: "I also discovered something in the body of my father, King Zhuang Xiang. Can the two saints come with me to see it?"
"Good." Zou Yan and Xunzi nodded.
The three people immediately left the palace.
Zhangtai Palace.
Zhao Ji and Mrs. Xiuli were also there, next to the bed, looking sad.
The two old saints looked at the unconscious King Zhuang Xiang on the couch, and then stepped forward together with Zhao Huaizhong. Zhao Huaizhong and Zou Yan were on the left and right, and Xunzi was in the middle, sending out their respective powers.
In an instant, King Zhuang Xiang was joined by three saints, and his whole body was washed by the power of the saints, and the negative effects in his body quickly weakened and subsided.
Between King Zhuang Xiang's brows, a golden word of origin appeared, spinning slowly.
After Zhao Huaizhong became a saint, he once considered personally writing the origin text of the saint's power to King Zhuang Xiang and Zhao Ji, and hiding it in their bodies to protect them in case of emergency.
Because of this, King Zhuang Xiang retained a glimmer of hope despite the previous incident and was able to return to Xianyang, where he was divided into his true nature by Jiang Shu and stabilized his injuries.
At this moment, three more saints entered the body with holy power.
King Zhuang Xiang's complexion gradually became rosy, his breathing became thicker, and he even let out a low groan from his mouth, showing signs of waking up.
At this moment, in the eyes of the three saints Zhao Huaizhong, they simultaneously captured a white mist appearing in King Zhuang Xiang's consciousness.
It seemed to be a mass of chaos, forced to appear by the combined power of the Three Saints.
Zhao Huaizhong wanted to capture that aura, but failed.
The breath blended with nothingness and disappeared without a trace.
After taking several breaths, Zhao Huaizhong and the others stopped.
King Zhuang Xiang's condition improved significantly. Zhao Ji, Lady Xiuli and others looked on with joy on their faces.
"Your father Zhuang Xiang's soul was swallowed by that aura. Although he obtained the origin of the differentiation of Shennong's women, he did not deteriorate.
But from now on, the soul will be damaged and the body will be weak. The time of sleep every day will be far longer than that of ordinary people, and I am afraid it will be difficult to return to normal." Xunzi sent a message to Zhao Huaizhong.
Zhao Huaizhong nodded and said: "Fortunately, I was only vaguely aware of the mysterious aura entrenched in my father's body when I was investigating alone, but could not get rid of it.
It was only thanks to joining forces with the two saints that he was forced out.
The strangeness of that aura is truly unexpected.”
Xunzi and Zou Yan also felt the same way.
That aura seemed to be transformed by an unimaginably powerful demonic energy?!
"If it is really a demon tribe, they are plotting to kill Zhuang Xiang and let you take over the power of the Qin people. They undoubtedly hope that you will go to war. Then they are hiding in the dark and continuing to plan. There must be other arrangements that can achieve their ultimate goal."
Xunzi guessed: "They are not of my race, and their plan is nothing more than to cause chaos to our race and cause the world to fall apart."
Zhao Huaizhong was attentive and silent.
By the time the two old saints left, it was already getting dark.
Xianyang Palace, main hall.
All the ministers came to attend the court meeting.
"I did not protect you well enough. I ask the prince to punish you."
A majestic general in his forties walked out of the queue, kneeling on the ground in fear and shame.
This person is the leader of the Forbidden Army, the general Wang Yu.
When King Zhuang Xiang went to Cuihua Mountain, he was responsible for leading the army to protect him.
"My father's situation has not yet been determined, and I first allow you to cooperate with us to thoroughly investigate this matter. If we fail to make any achievements, we will be severely punished." Zhao Huaizhong said.
Wang Yu bowed to thank him, his body already soaked with cold sweat.
"Prince, the king is in coma and the country cannot be left without a master. I ask the prince to exercise the royal power and have an overview of the state affairs before the king wakes up." Lu Buwei advised.
The ministers seconded the proposal and spoke in unison.
Zhao Huaizhong agreed calmly. There was no other candidate besides him, and that was as it should be.
Lu Buwei added: "Last night, I asked someone to check the origin of Concubine Yu."
"Concubine Yu was dedicated by Qi people in her early years and was born in Ji County, Qi County."
"After she entered my Qin Palace, she has been very well-behaved for many years and there is nothing abnormal. The poison taken by Concubine Yu has also been tested. It is the juice of a poisonous weed. It is not uncommon. There are no clues for investigation."
After the disbandment of the dynasty, all the ministers went about their own affairs, and only Zhao Huaizhong remained in the main hall.
He said in a deep voice: "You guys all come out."
In the void ahead, ripples filled the air, and an old man and two middle-aged men emerged.
The three of them were all wearing uniforms of guards, all in plain black.
These three people, plus the other two guards, are the last line of defense around King Zhuang Xiang.
The leader of the old man, his cultivation is almost not as good as that of Baiyao.
"When my father goes to bed, will you be there to watch over me?" Zhao Huaizhong asked.
King Zhuang Xiang's cultivation level is not high, and the guards around him will guard him secretly at all times and never leave.
The leader of the old man and the two middle-aged guards knelt down together:
"Although Concubine Yu has often seduced the king in recent days, we have carefully checked her body and there is nothing abnormal inside or outside her body. Therefore, I only thought that she was trying to seize the opportunity to win favor, and did not realize that the king was plotted and fell into
coma."
"I am willing to accept the prince's heavy punishment and pay for my dereliction of duty with my life."
The old man's response was as expected.
Zhao Huaizhong personally took action and found no problem in Concubine Yu's body, let alone the old man and others.
"Save your lives first and protect your father carefully."
"promise!"
Several guards stood up and saluted again, then disappeared immediately and returned to King Zhuang Xiang.
Time passes, days seem like a blink.
At the beginning of September, autumn begins.
King Zhuang Xiang slowly opened his eyes in the afternoon after being in coma for several days.
The morning of the next day.
King Zhuang Xiang can now sit on the bed.
In Zhangtai Palace, when Zhao Huaizhong walked in from the door, King Zhuang Xiang was drinking porridge with Zhao Ji serving him.
When he saw Zhao Huaizhong, a smile appeared on his white face:
"Fortunately, my son is here, otherwise there would have been a lot of turmoil and everyone would be in danger.
Being a father feels like having a nightmare. I can feel and hear everything you say, but I can't wake up."
He slowly turned his head and said to the chamberlain on the side: "Go and get the edict that I placed under the beam of the Zhenguo Seal."
Zhao Huaizhong immediately realized what King Zhuang Xiang wanted to do: "My father is still in good health, so there is no need to rush."
King Zhuang Xiang said openly: "How can I handle state affairs in my current situation?"
"When I think about it now, I still feel scared.
I am already a bit unable to deal with those who are plotting in secret. If you are not careful, you will be killed. My son is a saint, so he should be able to deal with it calmly."
"And I have been thinking about this matter for some time. Zheng'er, you have always been prudent and everything is going well, so I can rest assured."
September 9th.
King Zhuang Xiang issued an edict, citing physical discomfort, to order the Crown Prince of Qin to come to the court to supervise the country and exercise royal power.
The prince of Qin has an overview of Qin's affairs and acts as a king.
The news came somewhat suddenly, but Zhao Huaizhong had already supervised the country twice before. Within the Qin people, Lu Buwei, Wang Jian and other important ministers, as well as the clan nobles of Great Qin, were not surprised by this.
When the news spread, it caused a huge reaction within the seven countries, and those who heard it were moved.
Ps: I thought about writing King Zhuang Xiang to death, but I didn’t think it was reasonable. Although he left Xianyang, he was killed immediately. Even if the person behind the attack was a big boss, he shouldn’t be able to succeed so easily...
